Kill the Addiction: Stop Smoking: Without Quitting

by John English

It is estimated that there are 1,300,000,000 smokers...yes, that's 1.3 billion! Half of them will die prematurely of a tobacco-related disease. The numbers for children are horrifying. Half of all children in the world breathe air contaminated by tobacco smoke. One in every four adults is a tobacco addict, and this is the vast population to whom KILL THE ADDICTION is addressed. Using a totally new method, this serious work takes the desperate smoker - the one who wants to quit, has decided to do so, but simply CANNOT do it permanently - through all the necessary steps from nicotine slavery to stopping for life. Did you hear that? FOR LIFE. It all begins with what this method is NOT. Run your eye through that list. Looks familiar? These are the "other" methods, the ones that do not work for too many smokers. Then you are led through a list of most of the smoking myths...the most common of the many excuses the smoker uses to continue his substance abuse. Following that, the reader is introduced to some true facts about smoking...made to face them...even the deadly health issues and some of the most terrible ways of dying from tobacco. By now, the author has got the reader's full attention, preparatory to actually getting started. This unique method first involves accepting a new way of thinking about the smoking addiction. No mind stretch. Very acceptable. Then redefinitions of quitting and stopping, which are key to the process, subtitled STOP WITHOUT QUITTING. This is followed by the method itself, the step-by-step process that takes you from slave to the addiction to the wonder of being smoke-free. The finale is the death of the addiction by an ex-smoker who has the absolute conviction that he will never use tobacco again, and never even miss it. This is a unique approach to a deadly problem. It has many strengths, such as being completely non-invasive, easy, painless, respecting privacy, totally logical to name only some of them. It leaves its successful graduate with two major bonuses...increased self-confidence and heightened self-esteem. To give credibility to this method, the author smoked for over 50 years, quit unsuccessfully many times then seven years ago devised this method of stopping smoking without quitting! It was completely successful. He will never smoke again. Nor will the many others who tested his method.

‘How to stop smoking without quitting’

In this book, John English who writes that he was a smoker for 50 years, sets out his method for kicking the nicotine habit. At the time of writing this book, John English has been a non-smoker for 7 years, so this method has clearly worked for him.

Breaking the nicotine addiction is hard, whatever the reasons we each have for choosing to do so. Many of us quit more than once, as did John English. Many of us try a raft of different methods in seeking to break free of this habit, and no single method works for everyone.

So what makes the method in this book stand out? Why might this method be worth trying for those about to consider breaking the smoking habit? Simply, the attraction is that the smoker uses his or her own resources and doesn’t smoke – one day at a time. In John English’s case, one day at a time is now over seven years. Personally, I think that is the key. One day at a time: each day we live is part of a greater whole, but when fighting demons (and addictions) one day at a time is the way to do it.

Well worth considering if you want to stop smoking. Sometimes the best answers are simple ones.
